  • Patent number: 11656725
    Abstract: A method for a touch-sensitive display device comprises detecting a position of a stylus touch input relative to a plurality of touch-sensing electrodes, the stylus touch input corresponding to proximity of an active stylus to a display surface. A position of a human hand touch input is detected, corresponding to proximity of a human hand to the display surface. Each of the plurality of touch-sensing electrodes are driven with a first drive signal to communicate data to the active stylus. An electrical grounding condition is detected that interferes with reception of the first drive signal by the active stylus. A hand-proximity-subset of the plurality of touch-sensing electrodes within a threshold distance of the position of the human hand touch input are driven with a second drive signal, different from the first drive signal.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for indicating an attentiveness of a user of a head-mounted display (HMD) device. The HMD device may include a camera configured to capture images of the surrounding environment, an electronic display configured to display the images captured by the camera, and one or more sensors configured to track a direction of gaze of the user. In some aspects, the HMD device may output an attention cue based on the images displayed on the electronic display and the user's direction of gaze. The attention cue may indicate an attentiveness of the user to a person or object in the surrounding environment. In some implementations, the attention cue may be output via an attention indicator disposed on an outer surface of the HMD device. In some other implementations, the attention cue may be output via a communication interface that communicates with another HMD device.

  • Patent number: 11614809
    Abstract: A magneto-electrophoretic medium that can be globally and locally addressed and erased. The medium provides a writeable display with no perceivable lag and the ability to write and erase with only minimal power requirements. In particular, the magneto-electrophoretic medium can be erased by providing a subthreshold electric stimulus and supplementing a second non-electric stimulus that disturbs the written state and allows the magneto-electrophoretic particles to return to their original state.

  • Patent number: 11593052
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a switch and nodes coupled to the switch. Each node does not include an integrated video controller and transmits data to the switch via a USB and a serial connection. The switch comprises a controller which stores video output generated based on data received via serial connections. The controller: receives a user selection for a first node; transmits the user selection to a first multiplexer; retrieves a first video output generated based on data received via the corresponding serial connection; and transmits the first video output to a second multiplexer. The first multiplexer transmits USB data received from the first node to the second multiplexer. If the first node is in a pre-boot environment, the second multiplexer selects the first video output for transmission. If the first node is in a post-boot environment, the second multiplexer selects the data received from the first node for transmission.
